The corners of Timothy's lips twitched repeatedly. Initially, he had assumed he would be able to win the bid at 320 million bucks. However, he did not expect...
As the price climbed up to around 400 million, it did not matter if they were Robert, Grayson, Sharon, or anyone else for that matter, they all sat down immediately and dared not make another bid because the price tag was now just too extravagant. Although they all wanted it, they were stopped in their tracks.
"500 milion!”
Once again however, Fane cracked a calm smile as he stood up and said, "My friend next to me said 500 million!"
Even the old man on the stage was incredibly excited. They were paid by commissions and a price like this was something even he had not expected.
This time, even Timothy dared not raised the price further as he sat there alone, frowning depressingly.
"500 million, going once! If no one else is adding then this pearl will go to that beautiful woman’s hands!”
"500 million, going twice!"
The old man was beaming on stage, just waiting for the moment to hammer down his gavel.
"Wait!"
At that moment, Timothy stood up immediately.
He looked directly at Lana then said, "I'm very curious to know who this beautiful woman might be? 500 million bucks for a single pearl isn't too huge an amount but anyone without more than 1 billion bucks i n hand wouldn’t make such an offer now, right?"
"Yeah, I'm very curious too. I don't remember any wealthy women with a net worth of over 1 billion bucks in the Middle Province to be so young. You couldn’t possibly offer up 500 million when you only have ten in total just to buy that pearl, right?"
Michael had also stood up immediately and said that.
"Yeah, who is that woman exactly? That's far too much money, right?"
